South Dakota Association of Rural Water Systems Annual Technical Conference 2027

It takes place at Ramkota Hotel & Conference Center in Pierre, South Dakota.

The intended audience includes water and wastewater utility systems, both municipal and rural, of different sizes.

It is most useful for operators, managers and board members of small rural and municipal water and wastewater systems in South Dakota, since the sessions cover operations, management and governance for utilities of all sizes. Its timing alongside the opening of the state legislative session in Pierre also helps those who want to follow state policy; specialists seeking research-level content or a national audience would get less from a regional association meeting.

Attendees at rural utility conferences usually wear business casual or clean work-style attire, such as jeans or slacks with collared shirts, and warm layers for a South Dakota January.
